I have listened like 70-80 metal albums released in 2011 until 20 August 2012 and this is my top list of them. Couple of other quite good albums simply didn't make it into selection of 20, it was a bit challenging to select only 20 pieces. But would be pointless to list nearly all or all of them on the other hand...

1.Nightwish - Imaginaerum

2.Moonsorrow - Varjoina Kuljemme Kuolleiden Maassa

3.Alestorm - Back Through Time

4.Peste Noire - L'Ordure A L'etat Pur

5.Darkal - Here Comes The Darkness
